The ipv6 redirect target was derived from the ipv4 one, i.e. its identical to a 'dnat' with the first (primary) address assigned to the network interface. The code has been moved around to make it usable from nf_tables too, but its still the same as it was back when this was added in 2012. IPv6, however, has different types of addresses, if the 'wrong' address comes first the redirection does not work. In Daniels case, the addresses are: inet6 ::ffff:192 ... inet6 2a01: ... ... so the function attempts to redirect to the mapped address. Add more checks before the address is deemed correct: 1. If the packets' daddr is scoped, search for a scoped address too 2. skip tentative addresses 3. skip mapped addresses Use the first address that appears to match our needs.
